First off I'm not starting this thread to bash surfing. I have a 03' VLX that can make a repectable wave. The closest lake I have is marginal at best to ski on. We have to put in when everyone is leaving and there can't have hardly any wind. I primarly slolem ski then when I hit a patch of glass I almost always step off and make a footing run. The one thing that I've noticed is due to the popularity of surfing in the last few years exspecially this year. The lake will have perfect conditions. (minimal boats on the lake and no wind) Then there was about 6 or 7 boats surfing and there were 3 ft rollers and glass everywhere that I couldn't even hardly slolem ski in. Then I head 3 hours south to a great skiing lake and on the river of the lake where theres always glass and hardly any other boats there's a bunch of people surfing and ruining the water. It really has made me think twice about where I fill my bags and surf at since glassy water don't mean a hill of beans to surfing. To be frankly honest I haven't even put my low end prop on and surfed all year because of this. I would just like to recommend to some people that are new to inboards and water sports to think about where they are surfing. Theres other people on the lake that enjoy other things that require glassy water. Just wondering if others who don't have access to a private lake are expeincing the same thing or thinking the same way I do.
